Collect or keep things because you enjoy it, not because you worry about what other people might think of it. And maybe they will enjoy it! We just went through my grandmother's things and every female (and a few male) family members came away with some of her treasured collection of antique glass bead necklaces. </p><p><br /></p><p>When going through things you can run photos through Google Lens on your phone to identify or double-check sold prices before you decide what to do with them. Then you've already taken a photo to send to relatives to check their interest as well. You can put low value stuff in a garage/community sale or facebook marketplace. Higher value you can sell on eBay or other online platforms, or even take to a dealer or auction house if you have certain things of really high value. We have auction houses near us that will take literally anything en masse to sell for you if you don't want to do any work at all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
